Chloé Parfums - Le Nectar

You will be surprised how pop-ups can convert attendees to buyers. After my last trip to the House of Atelier des Fleurs (which was drop-dead gorgeous), I decided to attend this as well. You can read about my review here.  Unlike the last round, there was a lot more activities like a photobooth, introduction to the fragrances, but no free vials, unless you made purchases. There was also a Charms Bar, available with purchase. 

Personally, I thought the deals were pretty good, though pushing more for the sales of Le Nectar. There was no queue and I came on time. Appetite Record Lounge is a shophouse and was pretty narrow.  I completed the whole "tour" within half an hour. Most of the time was spent on trying to get the best deal for the different combinations available. 

Le Nectar has a really sweet scent and I do love it. In the end, I sway back to my old favourite, simply because it was slightly cheaper and I am more familiar with the scent. Plus, my little girl is obsessed with it. Here's my haul. 

Honestly, I still can't figure out if pop-ups provide the best deals, but they do throw in fancy  and good-quality freebies. It is only until 20 Sep, register here! Next round, I hope they do launch some sample fragrance packs. 3 of 30ml bottles, maybe? 

Chloé - House of Atelier des Fleurs

Made a trip to Chloé - House of Atelier des Fleurs and it was one of those event which I felt information could have been shared better. First of all, I have to say Mondrian Hotel is really drop dead gorgeous. I am absolutely in love with the suite and is so close to pampering myself with a night stay. The courtyard which I didn't take photos of was like a picturesque garden. 

I made a reservation ahead. Even though I came on time, there was a ridiculous queue ahead. I persevered through. It was pretty but I was a bit disappointed because it was very packed and there was not much personal space. Everyone was like jostling around. Even the hand massage queue was also really long. 

Despite my shots, I spent a quick 30 mins there max. What is not reported in many medias is that there is a whooping 15% off its items (maybe duty free may be able to beat it). On top of that, the deal is sweetened with lots of free gifts. I ended up snagging a small bottle of perfume and received a full-sized body cream as a free gift. It seems like a pretty good deal. 

The pop-up is only from 21st to 23rd March and my impression is always that such pop-ups offer pretty good discounts and deals. But I didn't see any complimentary mini floral watercolour artwork momento. I just felt the experience was not very consistent for the attendees. If you are a fan of Chloé , it is worth making a trip there. I am more of a convert but it is not because of the pop-up but because the floral scent is just up my alley and the hand cream had a really moisturizing effect on my housework-abused hands.
